We are now accepting 2025 Mass intentions for the entire year, January through December 2025.
Forms will be available at all churches, the St. Paul and St. Conrad offices, and here on our website. Online forms still need to be printed and mailed or dropped off at the St. Paul office with stipend accompanying the form.
Masses will be scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Confirmations will only be sent to those requests submitted on Mass intention request forms. They will be sent out beginning in December 2024 for January and February 2025 Masses. For Masses scheduled beyond February 2025, confirmations will be sent out at least two (2) weeks prior to the scheduled Mass date.
Please be sure to review and retain your written confirmation for future reference since the “requested by” is no longer published in the bulletin.
Mass intentions will not be accepted by phone or email.
We will do our best to fulfill your Mass intention request. If we cannot do so, we will schedule the intention as close to the requested date and time as possible.
Please be sure to review the guidelines on the reverse side of the Mass intention request form before submitting your request.
Mass Intention Guidelines for All Saints Parish
St. Andrew + St. Conrad + St. Michael the Archangel + St. Paul + St. Peter
1. We will accept requests for Mass intentions on a first-come, first-serve basis in the order in which the Mass Intention Request Form is received for January-December 2025. The form (on the reverse side) may be dropped off at the Saint Paul Church office, the Saint Conrad Church office, in the weekly collection basket at any of our five (5) churches, or mailed to the Saint Paul Church office at 128 N. McKean St, Butler, PA 16001-4938. Forms are available on the parish website www.allsaintsbutler.org, at the two (2) church offices, and all churches. MASS INTENTIONS WILL NOT BE TAKEN OVER THE PHONE OR BY EMAIL
2. Because of the large number of Mass intention requests we receive, we will accept no more than two (2) intentions per parish household per year, one (1) weekend and one (1) weekday. If you request more than two (2) Masses, the additional Mass intentions may be sent to Saint Paul Seminary to be fulfilled.
3. A significant number of Mass intentions are requested following the death of a loved one. The immediate family may schedule a maximum of three (3) Mass intentions for the deceased. Additional Masses requested for the deceased will be scheduled during the year if possible (this depends on the number of requests the office receives.)
4. After one year, unscheduled Mass intentions will be sent to Saint Paul Seminary to be celebrated there. Canon Law does not permit us to keep Mass intentions beyond those that we are able to schedule in a year’s time. Once a Mass is scheduled, it cannot be changed.
5. Mass confirmations will only be sent to those requests submitted on a Mass Intention Request form. Please indicate on the reverse side if you would like a confirmation. If requested, confirmations will be sent at least two (2) weeks prior to scheduled Mass date.
6. A $10 stipend, as determined by Diocesan policy, is to accompany each Mass request. No one will be denied a Mass intention because of inability to pay. Pease note on the Mass Intention Request form if this is case.
7. Mass intentions will not be scheduled for Holy Thursday (Mass of the Lord’s Supper), Good Friday, the Easter Vigil, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and the Sunday 10 am Mass at Saint Paul Church (see below). These Masses will be celebrated for the general intentions of our parish.
8. As required by Church’s Canon Law, the parish must schedule one (1) Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation for the intentions of our living and deceased parishioners. This “Pro Populo” (for the people) Mass designated for All Saints Parish is the Sunday 10 am Mass at Saint Paul Church.
9. We will do our best to fulfill your Mass intention request. If we cannot do so, we will schedule the Mass as close to the requested date, time, and location as possible. PLEASE print your contact information clearly!
10. Lengthy intentions cannot be published in the bulletin and will be edited for the sake of brevity.
11. All intentions must include first and last name(s).
